An interesting book about the early history of the Holy Mountain, the complete book is online available here and here is a PDF version: earlydaysofmonas00lakerich

Kirsopp Lake (1872-1946) was teaching Early Christian Literature at the university of Leiden in the Netherlands.

The book contains texts in English and Greek, and this simple map of the peninsula.

By coincidence I found this French picture from 1909:
